Epic Finish Line Announced!

Since we last updated you with our Start Line venue a couple of weeks back, we’ve received tons of questions about the location of the Florida C2C Finish line.

Situated on the Gulf of Mexico, Fred Howard Beach is known for its pristine white sandy beaches and spectacular sunsets. Finishing at the end of a one mile causeway, surrounded by the Gulf on both sides, you’ll very quickly realize why we chose this spot to end your epic journey across Florida. The only difficult choice will be whether or not your entire team should run the last mile together.

Now you know where you’ll be starting and finishing! Get signed up before prices increase and stay tuned for more information on the exact course route in the coming weeks!

Starting Location Announced!

We’ve just locked down a beautiful location for our Start Line Festival area!

Known for its amazing sunrises and view of the Max Brewer Bridge, Sand Point Park provides the perfect backdrop to get your team ready for 200+ miles of running bliss.

We’re working diligently to finalize the course route, and we’ll be announcing the epic finish line location soon. Until then, keep training!
